Recurrence of hallux valgus deformity can be a common complication after corrective surgery. The cause of recurrent hallux valgus is usually multifactorial, and includes patient-related factors such as preoperative anatomic predisposition, medical comorbidities, compliance with postcorrection instructions, and surgical factors such as choice of the appropriate procedure and technical competency. For a successful outcome, this cause must be ascertained preoperatively. Although the algorithm to determine which intervention should be used is not unlike that of primary hallux valgus surgery, operative correction of hallux valgus recurrence can be challenging. This article discusses these challenges, complications, causes, and techniques.

Researchers have modified PLA materials to enhance their mechanical properties and meet the clinical requirements. However, the strength and stiffness of PLA are still significantly lower than those of metals. Building on the established chevron clinical procedure and considering the mechanical characteristics of PLA screws, we devised a modified chevron osteotomy (MCO) based on a load-reducing structure with the aim of reducing the load on the screws.

Background: The development of a cost-effective and easily applicable fixation method to address all components of hallux valgus (HV) surgery is of great importance to the field. This study aims to assess the clinical efficacy of an alternative fixation method that combines the advantages aspects of commonly used distal osteotomy techniques and evaluate its level of applicability in the treatment of mild and moderate HV cases.
Methods: The retrospectively designed study was conducted at Adana City Training and Research Hospital, Adana, Türkiye.

The past several decades have seen significant advancements in joint replacement surgery for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Joint replacement procedures have become vital options for patients with severe joint damage and functional impairment. There has been an increased emphasis on personalized surgical strategies that tailor joint replacement decisions based on a patient's unique clinical characteristics and the extent of joint damage.

Background: To provide improved treatment for hallux valgus (HV), we sought to understand more about the pathophysiologic connection between flatfoot deformity and HV by comparing coronal plane alignment of the medial column of the foot for patients with isolated HV, isolated flatfoot, and combined HV-flatfoot vs controls.
Methods: This study retrospectively assessed a consecutive series of 33 patients with combined symptomatic and radiographic HV and flatfoot, 33 isolated symptomatic HV, 33 isolated symptomatic flatfoot, and 33 controls. The medial column alignment was assessed in the coronal plane using 3-dimensional weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT); rotation was measured for the navicular, medial cuneiform, and first metatarsal (M1).

Subluxation or dislocation of the second metatarsophalangeal joint may be commonly associated with crossover toe, metatarsalgia, and painful calluses. This retrospective study aims to evaluate the clinical and functional results in patients with irreducible second metatarsophalangeal joint dislocation treated by double percutaneous osteotomy in one step: Haspell's osteotomy and Distal Metatarsal Mini-Invasive Osteotomy. A total of 39 patients were included in this study.
